The jewelry is rotated while moved upward from the inside of the opened small box to an exposed posture/position away from the inside of the small box, so that the jewelry is presented to the recipient with a visual effect that enhances the impression of the offering. - In addition, according to the first embodiment, in the exposed posture/position separated from the inner wall of the
small box 1 when the jewelry storingsmall box 1 is opened, the front face of the jewelry can be made to face the recipient by the rotating operation of the jewelry by the small box, whereby the impression of the offering to the recipient can be further enhanced. - Further, according to the first embodiment, since the drive mechanism is provided for driving the
pedestal 61 of the jewelry storingsmall box 1 in conjunction with the opening and closing movement of the small box, the long side surface of the jewelry stored in the small box can extend in a direction substantially parallel to the inner wall of the small box outer shell member and occupy an adjacent posture/position. As a result, the dimension of the small box in the wall thickness direction can be minimized, that is, the appearance of the jewelry storingsmall box 1 becomes slim. - In the first embodiment, as an example, the
pedestal 61 constitutes a jewelry pedestal member on which a jewelry can be mounted. Thecenter gear 41, thegears transmission belts pulleys gear shafts rotary rack sleeve 77 constitute a drive mechanism for driving the jewelry pedestal member. - Example 2 is shown in
FIGS. 5 to 9 with the same reference numerals for the same or similar components as Example 1. - In the jewelry storing
small box 1 according to the second embodiment, the pedestal member 6 is composed of apedestal 61 for supporting a ring shown by a broken line inFIG. 5 as a jewelry, and acylindrical stay 60 provided with thepedestal 61 at the upper end and having a through-hole 63 near the lower end. The through-holes 63 haveopenings stay 60 into a cylindrical guide portion formed inside thehollow guide member 5 having a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape fixed to the base portion of thehinge member 4, and extends toward the opposite side of the one side to which the small boxouter shell members hinge member 4. Thehollow guide member 5 constitutes a pedestal member guide member. - As clearly shown in the exploded view of
FIG. 5 , thehollow guide member 5 is provided withopenings slider 7 with theprotrusions 81 is fitted loosely with a rectangular inner bore outside thehollow guide member 5 so as to be slidable without relative rotation to thehollow guide member 5, and they are combined so that theprotrusions 81 are on the same side as the side wall of thehollow guide member 5 in which theopenings slider 7 is connected to the small boxouter shell member rods rods bracket outer shell member protrusion 81 of theslider 7. - As shown in the exploded view of
FIG. 5 , the drivingtape 10 forming a flexible tape element has aring 11 pivotally supported by aprotrusion 81 of the slider 7 (an example of an engaging portion in the slider), and from thering 11, the drivingtape 10 extends outside of thehollow guide member 5 to the inside of thehollow guide member 5 through an opening 53 (an example of a first opening) of thehollow guide member 5, passes through a through-hole 63 of thestay 60 of the pedestal member 6 from an opening 63 a to anopening 63 b, passes through an opening 54 (an example of a second opening) of thehollow guide member 5, exits to the outside of thehollow guide member 5, and reaches thering 11 again. -
FIG. 6 shows a state in which the small box is closed, and although not shown, thepedestal 61 supports a ring as the jewelry as shown inFIG. 2 of Example 1, and the side surface of the ring positions the ring in a posture/position parallel to the inner walls of the small boxouter shell members brackets outer shell members rods protrusions 81 of theslider 7 are raised, and theslider 7 is in the uppermost position. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , the correlation between the operation of thestay 60 of thepedestal 61 and thehollow guide member 5 and the drivingtape 10 of thestay 60 is schematically shown inFIG. 9A when the small box is closed and the ring is positioned by thepedestal 61 in a posture/position parallel to the inner wall of the small boxouter shell members - When the small box
outer shell members hinge member 4 from the closed position, the connectingrods protrusion 81 of theslider 7 is pulled down, and the drivingtape 10 is pulled downward outside thehollow guide member 5 by thering 11 engaging with theprotrusion 81. The drivingtape 10 running from theopening 53 to theopening 63 a of the through-hole 63 of thestay 60 frictionally engages the corner surface of the opening 63 a and pulls the opening 63 a of the through-hole 63 to the vicinity of theopening 53 until the distance is minimized as shown inFIG. 9C . Since theopening 53 is not only above the opening 63 a of the through-hole 63, but also at a position where the angular phase of thepedestal 61 is different from that of the opening 63 a of the through-hole 63, thestay 60 not only ascends linearly but also rotates counterclockwise to approximately 90 degrees. The movement trajectory of the angular surface of the opening 63 a by the drivingtape 10 is substantially the same as that of the drivingtape 10 from the opening 63 a to theopening 53 shown inFIG. 9A .FIG. 9B shows a state thereof in the middle. - Further, when the small box is opened and the jewelry is separated from the inner wall of the small box as shown in
FIG. 9C , and the small box is returned to the storage position as shown inFIG. 9A after passing through the intermediate posture/position when the small box is half opened as shown inFIG. 9B , the drivingtape 10 can pull down thestay 60 until theopening 63 b comes closest to theopening 54 by frictional engagement with the corner surface of theopening 63 b of the through-hole 63 so that thestay 60 is in the lower position and the angle is also returned to the original angle position and orientation. When the small box is opened and jewelry is separated from the inner wall of the small box as shown inFIG. 9C and returns to the storage posture/position as shown inFIG. 9A after passing through the intermediate posture/position when the small box is half opened as shown inFIG. 9B , the drivingtape 10 can pull down thestay 60 by frictional engagement with the corner surface of theopening 63 b of the through-hole 63 until theopening 63 b comes closest to theopening 54, so that thestay 60 is in the lower position and the angle returns to the original angle posture/position. - In order to turn the pedestal clockwise, as shown in
FIGS. 10A and 10B , the engagement direction of the drivingtape 10 with respect to the through-hole 63 of thestay 60 is only reversed from that ofFIG. 9 , and therefore, the turning direction of the jewelry can be easily changed by the same component. - In Example 2, substantially the same effect as in Example 1 described above can be obtained. That is, at the time of giving the engagement ring, the jewelry such as the engagement ring can be presented with an impressive visual effect on the recipient that the jewelry rises while swinging from the opened small box in conjunction with the opening of the small box. As a result, affection of the person who presents the jewelry can be conveyed easily.
- In the second embodiment, the
hollow guide member 5, theslider 7, the drivingtape 10, and the connectingrods - In the second embodiment described above, the connecting
rods protrusion 81 of theslider 7 engaged with thering 11 of the drivingtape 10, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The connectingrods protrusion 81 of theslider 7 to which theannulus 11 of the drivingtape 10 engages, (for example at two points on both sides of theprotrusion 81 of the slider 7). And in the second embodiment described above, thepedestal 61 is separate from thestay 60, and they are integrated by being joined, but they may be integrally molded from the original. Alternatively, thepedestal 61 may be configured to be removably attachable to thestay 60. In this case, by preparing a plurality of types ofpedestals 61, it is possible to easily cope with jewelries of various sizes. - Although each embodiment has been described above in detail, the present invention is not limited to a specific embodiment, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the claims. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which all or some of the components of the above-described embodiments are combined.
